[TRICK]
I was like telling my classmates how dying i wished January 28th to arrive! Koda Kumi's 7th Studio Album "TRICK" is just so awesome!!
1) INTRODUCTION FOR TRICK: She always had a very hot opening for her album. I thought the audience effect was nicely blend in. I had in mind it was like a circus show. The word "Trick" was repeating and repetitive.
Rating:9/10
2) TABOO: Its like her best upbeat song in her entire career! Started off with a strong electro-pop dance tune that is heavily infectious. The Verse and the Chorus are so well connected.
Rating: 9.5/10
3) show girl: Somewhat reminds me of run for your life, those sexiness with a mix of cutesy. Its catchy and i love the ending.
Rating: 8.5/10
4) Your Love: Brings you to a soft R&B Ballad. And i'm always fond of her R&B ballad works.
Rating: 8/10
5) stay with me: It may sounds generic for a ballad, but i love her vocal in this song. Her husky strong vocals are plus points in this song.
Rating: 8/10
6) This is not a love song: It takes me several times to catch the rythmn. A dark R&B song which is like Under. However Under is better. :/
Rating: 7.5/10
7) Driving: Another crazy electro-pop song influenced. Her vocal this time is higher and sounds fun. It is a song for people to drive in town with a high feeling!
Rating: 9/10
8) Bling Bling Bling feat. AK-69: I didn't expect the song turns out to be like this after knowing the title. It resemblence to Fergie's London Bridge but Bling Bling Bling is way better than this. Its catchy and fun. I love the rap and the verses.
Rating: 8.5/10
9) That Ain't Cool feat. Fergie: Probably the worst track in this album. Featuring U.S. Singer Fergie, everything is so bad in this song and most of the song belongs to Fergie. Kuu's english verses are weak.
Rating: 5/10
10) Hurry Up!: After knowing this song will be a Rock Song like Ningyo-hime and FREAKY. I'm so anticipated for this track! The verses and the chorus are so fast and catchy, it really lives up to the title!
Rating: 9/10
11) Moon Crying: Beautiful Lyrics, Beautiful arrangements. But her vocals are not so good in it. There are some good and bad vocals in this song. I don't really like her voice to be too high and screechy. But i love how its acoustic/piano in the beginning and then it blasts in the end.
Rating: 8.5/10
12) JUST THE WAY YOU ARE: A laid-back R&B track that is dedicated to best friends. I love the soft and catchy arrangement.
Rating: 8.5/10
13) Joyful: Another upbeat and cheerful song. A kind of song which Kuu would like to sing in her tour. Another WIND sequel.
Rating: 8.5/10
14) 愛のことば: It means Words of Love. To tell you the truth, the verses are a lot better than the chorus for a simple reason. The screechyness. But it wasn't that bad afterall. A good way to end off a album.
Rating: 7/10
15) Venus (Bonus Track): A cover song that she has been doing for a Commercial. An english song which i felt that her english has been improving. A very retro and nice track.
Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Album Rating: 8.1/10
There will be 2 DVDs too! The first DVD will have 6 PVs, and 6 Making ofs. While the Second DVD will contain Koda Kumi Special Live Diry Ballroom ~one night show~. Its a dam awesome concert because she performed a lot of remixes, and she sang a lot of upbeat club songs and her dancing is impressive! A must get Album.
p/s: i'm looping this album for the week. :D
